a dream
climbing up the stairs, into the sky / i can see a vast body of water below me, far below / he and i are climbing, he is young and scared he will fall through the stairs

beautiful, you are so
Now look here / You’ve left me with nothing else to say / I’m here, my arms outstretched, my body curled and aching

dawn
the sun is rising through the cracks in the shutters / the sky is purple and yellow and blue / i'm so tired that i'm shivering

empty
i'll never forget that. / the darkness, the silhouette of your large, hulking body illuminated by the screen / the tangled sheets, a mess at the center of your bed

falling fast
Driving away from the city lights / I watch them as they disappear and I'm wringing my cold, damp hands between my knees / Loud music and the sound of your voice, rising and falling

fight her fire
He told me I was precious / I ran a finger nail across his collarbone / And he was on his elbows, kissing the flesh above my jeans

flood
hands gripping the icy cold steering wheel / so hard my palms are numb / passing the bus stop, the street we used to take to get to your house

here again
curled inside your arms / in the hard and unforgiving porcelain tub / dimmed lights

I LOVE
I love the way it looks, the flickering lights licking your cheeks / I love the greens and the golds, embracing each other around the window frame / I love your smile, and your warm hand on the nape of my neck

infatuation/suicide
sunny days that make your eyes/heart ache / damp, sticky nights / lying in your bed
